All are fairly easy numbers to make. Utilization has been going down in a boost to profitability so we don’t know exactly how many block hours they have planned for our busiest months. Attrition has picked back up with a little under one a day again so I don’t see them stopping classes at all this year but again, who knows?
Those seem like very modest hiring numbers. I think we are likely to see a month or two during the summer with no new hires or upgrades. But as you mention, aircraft utilization matters a lot.
